Beautiful 1930s frocks are expensive and hard to come by. That’s a sad and true fact.
If you do get your hands on one then you’re probably too scared to wear it half the time in case it falls apart. A lot of my 30s style dresses are actually from the 70s. The right hair and accessories make all the difference.
The other answer if you like a 30s look is vintage reproduction. Most of the companies that produce reproduction clothing focus on the 40s and 50s. 2 notable ones that have some styles with a more 30s feel are Stop Staring and Puttin’ On the Ritz, but earlier this week I stumbled across some gorgeous new frocks to lust over on Style High Club and couldn’t resist sharing them!
The dresses are by The Vintage Dressmaker. They’re not cheap, sadly, but they are handmade, meticulously researched and gorgeously detailed. The ones on Etsy are one size only, but you can contact her through her website as she makes bespoke, individually tailored dresses that will fit you perfectly.

They are absolutely stunning and would just love to buy one.
Hi there, I’ve been checking out lots of fashion blogs & I have to say, I absolutely LAHVE yours. I’m 14 years old (note what i put as my name), but I’m interested in designing retro stuff with a modern twist (for my future ‘fashion design’ career).
I’ve just said too much; as usual.
BTW, I love the Claudette one! (:

I wish I wasn’t so poor, otherwise the Claudette would be mine!
Bought a 30s dress last week. No holes or busted seams anywhere! No pics of it on my blog yet. But they will probably come up tuesday or wednesday next week. The dress is transparent black and white, and has a gorgeous neckline. Can’t wait to wear it…And hope it doesn’t fall apart and leaves me standing in just my slip… 🙂
Aint they scrummy!!!!
Oh I saw these the other day, just too gorgeous!!!! X
The 30s is not really my thing, but they are gorgeous!
Love the Claudette design, so flattering!
Very elegant.
One more thing for the list (for when I win the lottery, which I will, oh yes).
Oh, lovely. I know what you mean about not wanting to ruin 1930s dresses, too. And they are so hard to find here in Aus! These are lovely. I especially like the Claudette.
